Tehillim. Psalm 88 - The Living Dead

from The Tanakh Podcast · host Alex Israel

This Mizmor is the soliloquy of a person crying out in pain and suffering, feeling close to death. The Malbim says: "from start to finish, it offers no comfort, only the cry of brokenness and despair... This is also a metaphor for the Jewish People in exile."
